16. What company--A, B or D?

303d MI was out on West Fort, away from the 163d MI and 15th MI barracks and the airfield. (I was in the 163d.)

I am thinking you were a 98J and you would have lived on the third floor of Bravo Company when you were at Devens, right above the buddy-fuckers on the second floor.

Either that, or you were a 33 and could have been either in Company A, which was all 33s, or in Company D with the 05Ds.

and yes, I was a 98J. Switched to 96B in the Reserves.

19. Ft. McClellan

The Choccolocco foothills, part of the Appalachian Mountain chain, surrounds the post. A spur ridge of the Choccolocco foothills crosses the main post from north to south. The ridge first attracted military interest during the Spanish-American War, when the mountains were discovered to form an excellent background for artillery firing.

The War Department formally established Camp McClellan on July 18, 1917. The camp was named in honor of Major General George B. McClellan, General-in-Chief of the U.S. Army from 1861 to 1862. McClellan was also the Governor of New Jersey from 1878-1881. Although it is unusual for a Southern fort to be named for a Northern general, there are strong indications that McClellan's name was a logical choice. Camp McClellan was a mobilization camp used to quickly train men for WWII. General McClellan is credited with the quick training and mobilization of the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. Most of the first soldiers arriving at the camp were from the North. In fact, the first group to train at Camp McClellan were from McClellan's home state of New Jersey.
